Susan Zeidler has spent more than 20 years writing about the “real world” as an award-winning journalist covering events from major court cases and oil spills to movie premieres and the Academy Awards. She now takes her readers to magical places in her first novel, The Practice Room.

The story takes the reader and the main character, Zoey, back and forth between worlds and settings as varied as a Los Angeles rock concert in 2002, Harlem in the 1930s, Woodstock in 1969, and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Zoey's journey not only tells the story of one teen’s coming of age and growth as a musician, but also shows how music transcends all boundaries.

In The Practice Room, Zeidler melds her experiences as both a musician and a chronicler of current events in an exciting fantasy that reflects an otherworldly musical voyage of a young teen girl against the background of modern historical milestones. While The Practice Room may seem a departure for Zeidler, it is just an extension of her life’s journey. Throughout her career, she has always had a foot in both the business and creative worlds. She has additionally written two screenplays, “Tailspin” and “Hit Single.”
